Keynote Speakers

Professional Athletes and Family Office Converge to Accelerate Investor Returns and Social Impact

 

Continuing from the tremendous success and reception from the Opal Family Office Summit in Newport and the Impact Investing & Emerging Managers Conference in NYC, Danny Hughes brings another stellar Professional Athletes panel to inspire and impact the Opal community.

 

Beyond the on-field and on-court heroics, both active and former Professional Athletes are expanding their talents into business ventures, not-for-profit, and philanthropy. They do this to make a difference, preserve and expand their wealth, and leave a legacy.

 

Hear first-hand the stories of transitioning beyond the game and learn about their passions, along with the opportunities and relationships they each look to identify and develop with Families, Foundations, Advisors and Innovators.

 

Wisdom will be shared about how best to engage and leverage the Professional Athlete and their untapped brand and “influence capital” to support new ventures, social impact initiatives and philanthropic endeavors.

Manager vs. Investor Breakdown

    Investor Breakdown

      The Opal Family Office conference in NAPA was the place to be. It fostered productive idea and practice exchanges and was the scene of many earnest sharing sessions focusing on how to get it right. Good and useful relationships were forged that will be long lasting and helpful. James S. Rosebush

      Founder and CEO, The Wealth & Family Management Group

      Opal Family Office events are unparalleled and the second annual Family Office & Private Wealth Management Forum in Napa was no exception. I was honored to be among a prestigious and knowledgeable slate of speakers. The feedback I heard as an advisory board member throughout the conference reflected that quality and the depth of knowledge illustrated in every session. Networking at Opal events not only yields good business relationships, it fosters long-term professional friendships. Lisa Grey
